    dwgsim arguments not working (on mac)

    i can get dwgsim to generate the help menu, and if i stick the command line arguments after the reference genome file and outfile.fq names, it runs fine but uses the default settings, ignoring the arguments.

    the correct order, per the wiki is:

    dwgsim [options] <in.ref.fa> <out.bwa.read1.fq> <out.bwa.read2.fq> <out.bfast.fq>

    but when i do this, .e.g:
    dwgsim -e 0.01 -E 0.01 -d 500 -s 50 -N 100000 -1 100 -2 100 -r 0.0010 -R 0.10 -X 0.3 -n 0 /Volumes/Storage/CanidGenomes_Project/CanFam3/canfam3.fa out.bwa.read1.fq out.bwa.read2.fq out.bfast.fq

    i get the following error:

    [dwgsim_core] fail to open file '0.01'. Abort!

    basically, dwgsim is trying to read the first argument as the reference file name.

    is there some sort of mac specific argument parsing problem here, and if so, a solution?

    Please run the version from the latest git and post your results. The options have changed, so please adjust accordingly.

      solved it, but error during make

      Thanks Nils, it works now.

      The only other thing is that there were errors during make:

      make[2]: *** No rule to make target `dwgsim_eval.pl', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
      make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
      make: *** [all] Error 2

        Thanks for the report, fixed in a new commit.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


          The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
